Friday night at Williams Grove Michael was having trouble in his heat race after starting in the second row he backed up and was able to hold on to the seventh place spot.  Michael missed the transfer by one position so had to run the B-Main.  Michael started up front in the consi and lead half way.  A late race pass by Brian Leppo left Michael's car shaken up due to dirty air and Greg Hodnett was able to pass him before the checkered.  Michael had to start deep in the field for the A-Main where the car still struggled.  Saturday morning at the shop while doing routine maintenance Michael found he had suffered  a broken shock Friday night.  The crew did all of the regular maintenance as well as replaced the bad shock and made the trip to Lincoln Speedway for the Weldon Sterner Memorial Time Trial event Saturday.  Michael was in a later group for time trials and times 7th our of 27 cars.  The heats were inverted by time putting Micha el fourth in his heat, where he finished third.  Michael started and finished sixth in the A-Main.
